Deep attachment and love forms the basis of relationship among city folks with their pets,especially if the pet is a dog, research has revealed.
"If you have kids, you have less time to spend with your pets. That's part of it, but not the whole story. People who think of their pets as their children often re-evaluate this thought when they have human children of their own," said David Blouin.

Blouin's study found that 93 percent of dog owners and 77 percent of cat owners took their pets to the veterinarian at least one time a year.
The frequency of interactions owners had with their pets, as well as how often they took them to the veterinarian, were closely tied to how owners viewed their pets-whether as a child, a companion, or just another, albeit, useful animal, said Blouin.
